Weekend Update

It's hot. I take back complaining about the rain...at least it was cool. I have become a sweaty monster....Miss F has become a sweaty monster....yet we continue to go to the park or take golf lessons despite the weather because hole-ing up in the house, while fine for nap time or a little respite from the sun, is not an option.

We went to the park yesterday in between necessary errands (birthday gifts--one for a 2 year old, one for a 33 year old). We played in the yard, ran through the Backyardigans sprinkler thingy, drove the car, rode the trike and tried to keep hydrated.

We attended a birthday at Gymboree and Miss F was able to find the one square inch not covered with a pad and took a high-dive off equipment onto this tiny patch of thinly carpeted concrete. Mr B and I were nearby and watching the event in slow motion. She's banged up but after a slight cry and an ice pack, was back dancing and singing. To make sure she didn't have a concussion we asked her name (she answered 'Finn'), how many fingers we were holding up (she answered "two" and we know that's the only number she knows so we made sure to only hold 2 up) and what mommy's name was (she said "Neny") and daddy's name ("Wick"). We knew she was A-OK.

Last night Mr B and I attempted to watch Hitchcock's "Vertigo". It's on our list to watch after it was named one of the top 10 movies by AFI. We both fell asleep in various parts and in general, I didn't get the appeal. I know, movie buffs, we are a sad lot.

Today was a playdate at the park, more yard time, more sprinklers. We head to a grown-up birthday party tonight and I have a golf lesson in this heat. UGH. Deodorant don't fail me now....
